In
the fifteenth chapter of Luke, we find three more parables that reveal the
great love of our Father in heaven; "The Lost Sheep" Lk 15:1-7, "The Lost Coin" Lk 15:8-10, and "The Prodigal Son" Lk 15:11-32.
These
three parables, were
told on the same occasion, in response to murmuring by Pharisees and scribes. Having
the same central theme: "The
Father's yearning love for the lost". These
parables were designed, though not
just to tell us about the Father's love for the lost. But
what should be our attitude toward the lost as well!
